Rate = Distance/Time (R = D/T)

Time = Distance/Rate (T = D/R)

Susan Miller, an amateur cyclist, bought an expensive new bike that she hoped would greatly increase her speed.

She travelled a 15-mile loop in 48 minutes on the new bike, compared to 50 minutes on the old bike. What was her average speed on each of her two bikes ?

1) D=RxT

2) R=D/T

3) T=D/R
